Directions. Read each question and choose the correct answer. Write the letter of your choice
before the number.

1. Why does radioactive decay play a very important role in earth’s internal heat?
A. Radioactive element can be found anywhere in the planet.
B. When radioactive element decays, it produces heat.
C. Spontaneous nuclear disintegration of radioactive elements produced thermal
energy.
D. All of the above

2. How does the conduction in the surface of the earth affect the temperature of our
atmosphere?
A. Air molecules come in contact with the warmer surface of the land and ocean resulting
to the increase of its thermal energy.
B. Air molecules come in contact with the cooler surface of the land and ocean
resulting to
the decrease of its thermal energy.
C. Air molecules does not come in contact with the warmer surface of the land and
ocean
resulting to the increase of its thermal energy.
D. Air molecules do not come in contact with the cooler surface of the land and
ocean
resulting to the increase of its thermal energy.

3. How does convection in Earth’s mantle affects the formation of landmass like volcano and
mountain?
A. Heat tries to escape in the interior of the earth.
B. Collision and separation of tectonic plates happens due to the slow motion of
convection cells.
C. When warm material in the mantle rises up to the surface (ground), it will cool
and
sinks, these cooled materials will eventually be turned into landmass.
D. All of the above

4. What is produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust?
A. radiogenic heat B. primordial heat
C. superheating D. heat from the sun

5. This refers to the heat left over from the formation of the Earth?

8. What process occurs if there are formation and movement of magma under the earth’s
crust?
A. decompression melting B. partial melting
